  • What if we could start again? THE LINE rethinks everything we know about how people live, work and play. A 170 km-long vertical city, designed around people, rather than cars. A revolution in urban living. A city that delivers new wonders for the world.

    When I watched this clip, I truly felt chills in my body. I think it is a very impressive project, but I also wonder, and let’s be honest, can this be achieved? What if a fire or something happens, how can we deal with this? Well, let’s say we were able to deal with this. Will a city 170 km away, covered with glass, help build a healthy environment? There are a lot of questions in reality, but if there is one thing that really amazes me, it is that Saudi Arabia has already started this project, so I am really excited for the day it will end, and I hope that it will end successfully without going through countless problems, so I really hope that the engineers in charge of this project have calculated it. Their calculations for all these crazy things, and in the end I believe that the civilization in which we live today is basically based on madness! Good luck to Saudi Arabia 👏👏

  • @jemm113

    Does anyone else notice how The Line's construction completely blocks out natural sunlight for the lowest levels save for midday but due to the structures criss-crossing the Line's walls that sunlight would blocked out and shaded at the very bottom regardless? And even with the glass façade, this is still predicated on light going through all of the buildings that make up the actual internal structure of the wall, let alone all of the actual service structures too.
    Am I the only one that noticed? This construction would literally split people into even more rigid class hierarchies as the rich would be the only ones able to afford high-rise property/apartments where natural sunlight is the most plentiful and easily accessible in an environment outside of a building. Which is important as natural sunlight governs many bodily functions, chief among them our circadian rhythm.
    Equity my ass.
    Also the mirror façade will absolutely SCORCH the surrounding landscape, along with reducing the amount of light that enters the Line further as more light would have to bounce off for the mirrors to even work as such.
    And then there's the absolute tripe about "renewable energy". I don't see mention of a single nuclear reactor at all. you'd run out of power trying to light up this monstrosity and would have to resort to sapping from other power grids to get by.

      When solar energy became independent because people just can install it in their house and not through any govt, elites started to panic, cuz in a while if that technology advances people would eventually stop using oil
      So the plan is to monetize the sun since you cannot put sun in an enclosure
      Put peasants in an enclosure and create obstacles to getting free sunlight

    2. A place this massive and compact is just bound to be hit by a terrorist attack of some kind, I hope they have security.
    3. Depending on how the city is constructed, classism is going to be unbearably prevalent. I understand that the walls are actually reflective glass panes, however true sunlight will only be available to the top floors, so I could only imagine Kowloon-esque cramping in the bottom floors while the people living at the top (Both literally and metaphorically) will be comfortable.

    Robert Silverberg wrote, "The World Inside" in 1971 wherein the whole of Earth's 'urban' population lives in 3km high buildings holding 800,000 people. Each building is divided into 25, 40-story sections, with the social status reflected in how high you are within the building. The people living outside of the buildings were the farmers, working hard to feed the billions of people living inside. The two overarching classes had vastly different views on population control.
    As for the 'Line'. One thing leaped out to me at once, as well as several others that have been discussed.
    A closed environment surrounded by an inhospitable environment is an epidemic breeding ground unlike anything since the pestilential slums that gave us cholera, plague, and typhus. When the next SARS, COVID, or influenza outbreak appears inside the Line, it will spread with horrific ease.
    A closed environment makes it both easier to control a 'captive' population, and easier for that population to overwhelm the 'masters'.

    At my grandmothers old house, her backyard was all woods, and she had a lot of bird feeders. And it wasn’t uncommon to hear a “wham” from time to time at her sunroom windows. The windows were reflecting the surroundings just enough that the birds didn’t know there was a window there, and would fly into it thinking it was open air, or get spooked by a hawk and fly towards it thinking it was a path to escape. Sometimes the birds would be lucky and catch themselves before they hit the ground and fly off. Other times they would hit the window hard enough to stun themselves and fall to the ground with a plop and take some time to recover. The unlucky ones were the ones that slammed into the window so hard they broke their necks, or the ones that veered away from the sunroom windows to hit the family room windows. The reason why _that_ was a problem was because her house was on a hill, and any bird that hit the family room window would then plummet two stories down to the stone pathway outside the door that opened to the downstairs.
    Now, I am no “expert” when it comes to architecture and nature, but can you explain to me how this _”elegant”_, 500m tall, 170km long MIRROR is supposed to help nature?! How is this a “intelligent solution”?! _Surely_ when designing this, some wildlife experts or _someone_ was involved in designing this, right? Because unless you install something on this “mirror” to give birds a heads up that there is something solid in their way, it won’t matter how “energy efficient” this place is, you can’t call it a solution to saving nature if it kills off hundreds if not thousands of birds each year considering the size of this thing if they can’t see it effectively. Not to mention that while birds can fly high, from my understanding most birds fly relatively low. I can hardly imagine a bird like a wild _turkey_ flying over this thing. So for the bird species that have to migrate, will some species be stuck, unable to fly over?
    And even if they CAN all fly over, what about animals that _can’t_ fly? If you don’t put any tunnels in the structure, you may be preventing some land bound species from migrating. At this point, you best bet would be to build this thing somewhere more barren and devoid of wildlife. Though from watching the video again, it looks like that is already the plan! Just barren wastes of desert and rocky mountains surround The Line, and while I know in some places of the world there are deserts and canyons and such that can be beautiful, in the video it looks like the area around The Line is dead, like some kind of disaster has happened. And this of course just makes the The Line look and feel more dystopian. So what kind of “view” to this _“accessible nature”_ are people supposed to get when all they see outside is barren wasteland?
    And how is there supposed to be “unique communities” in The Line? Every section of The Line looks the same! Yes, the people in each section of The Line can be unique of course, but in the real world when you travel from town to town, city to city, while there may be similarities in some ways to how some buildings are built, each one has its own unique look and style to it, and is laid out differently. In The Line, you made a big rectangle, filled it with rooms, and then copied and pasted a few dozen times in _a line._ You would be living in a box, that looks like the same box that another person at the other far end of The Line would be living in. Where is the individuality? Wouldn’t this get boring to look at after awhile? Maybe that is the reason The Line is the way it is, you can’t possibly get lost in a building that looks the same no matter where you go if your only options are left and right! And having everything you need within 5 minutes of walking sounds nice and all, but I have to wonder: with all this cramped, and therefore limited space, are any of these businesses and such around the area going to be created and owned by individuals wanting to start their own business…or by chains the likes of Walmart and such? Just corporations, more copy and pasting, no individuality.
    A saying my grandpa used to have was “Always look five miles down the road”, and I feel like it is something a lot of these “experts” on finding sustainable solutions are _not_ doing. In trying to solve some solutions, no one is thinking about any possible negative effects the “solutions” may have days, weeks, _years_ into the future.
    And besides, did any of the architects ever think to themselves: would anyone be _happy_ living in a box for the rest of their life, crammed into a space with millions of other people, like sardines in a can?

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

      What they fail to mention in this marketing scam, is that you can’t just leave the line. In fact, it’s one large prison city, controlled by AI. Everyone will be sanctioned into districts, with everything you need essentially within 15 minutes. You have to request permission to leave the district, with travel being limited to so many times per year. On top of that, in order to gain approval to leave, you have to have a good social credit score along with some other good behavior factors. Not to mention I can’t even imagine what an outbreak like Covid would look like within these walls. It’s not at all the rainbows and butterflies they are trying to sell us on these smart cities.

Instead of needing crazy high speed maglev trains to travel 170km in 20 minutes, if you lived near the center you could have access to all of the city either by foot or bike, or maybe trams.

    Interesting concept but it's not feasible. You can never have 100% water renewability, there will always be lost to evaporation amongst other factors.
    The 170km wall hosts a few problems itself:
    1) The mirrors would have to be heavy duty and need to withstand abrasion extremely well, a broken panel (depending on size) could be a hassle and costly to replace.
    2) The giant wall obstructs air movement worse than a sprawled out city ever would. The big issue is the sand being eroded at the bases of the wall potentially undermining the foundation. You will need to backfill and compact frequently to prevent this.
    3) Sand will be everywhere and hard to remove within the city. Sandstorms will move larger grains of sand but the normal wind can move finer particles, with air flow those particles will be all over the city. As for sandstorms or haboobs, sand would envelope the city and with a modular design scheme removal would be a huge pain.
    One other big issue is fire. Unless you are planning to have sprinkler systems everywhere containing/stopping a fire. We've seen apartments fires engulf a whole building, with everything interconnected fire will spread easier. This is problematic with bad fires, the structural integrity of these modules could fail and large chunks of debris could come crashing down and who knows how that could effect other modules or even the wall.
    All in all it seems like you're not building a city but a large retirement community. How would business/industry function? Who gets to live next to the solid waste/ water treatment plants? Are you planning on building 1000's of elevators? Are you planning on replacing urban sprawl with solar farms, how will you power the city? How will law enforcement work in this environment?
    Their are a whole host of issues that need to be addressed and I hope the bright minds behind this will consider what I and others may have left in the comments.

      ​@@CR800There are many issues with this concept.
      1, the line will be made of mirrors, it will reflect alot of sunlight back unto the surrounding environment, which will increase the temperature of the surrounding area.
      2. For a train to travel from one end of the line to another in 20mins, it would have to go over 500km per hour, that is too fast for it to constantly stop in between stations, it would have to slow down significantly which would make it less efficient.
      This city has alot of mobility issues, navigating between levels and then between modules would not make transport efficient, it'll be like navigating a maze.
      3. There seems to be a serious lack of sunlight, those living in the bottom levels are going to have a really unpleasant time, in that case is there going to be a very obvious class system, worker's live at the bottom and the rich live up top.
      4. They are going to need one hell of a cooling system, a system like that would be immensely power hungry, which could end up making the city energy inefficient.
      This concept is pretty much the antithesis to sustainability, more so that it doesn't follow the natural coastline, it just cuts right through the landscape, which is pretty environmentally disastrous because such a seperation of the natural habitat would result in god knows how many ecological problems.

These lines radiate out from a central nexus point (called the 'CLD' - the Central Line District).
    And within the grid, in the dead space, are called 'Blocks'. Blocks contain a 'block' of solid buildings, with no Lines inbetween, which can be accessed from four sides by each of the lines surrounding it.
    The megacity is made up of these Blocks, which radiate out from the CLD - In the pinnacle of efficient city design.

    Another thought - straight lines are too stiff when dealing with how water, wind, etc. move through our world. Reminds me of an class I took in college where we learned what happened when engineers built a 90 degree angle into an irrigation canal to change the flow of water. The water came through - hit the 90 degree angle, didn’t turn, kept going straight, and blew out the wall of the irrigation canal. Flowing curves work better than rigid lines to move ourselves and everything else (wind, water) through our world. The Chinese Feng Shui system was built on observing nature (including Man’s psychological nature.). Curving lines create gentle flow = good ch’i and straight lines create too much force = sharp ch’i. The energy is too intense in sharp-angled, straight line-based architecture - it’s dangerous. Straight lines might work to make a really fast transportation system - but if you are really into nature - you won’t box it in - you’ll create curved containers and flowing curves for people to travel in a healthy and safe way through the city. Consider what happens if you have a square piece of sharp angle glass topping a low table - you’re going to visit the emergency room when you accidentally collide your shins with the sharp angles of the table. Now if the table top is thick & rounded - the collision is less damaging to your shin.

      I agree...The shape can be designed better. Considering large scale of electricity, water, waste transportations, the evacuate path of emergency events etc. Because since the whole concept is supported by efficiency, might as well consider the comprehensive efficiency of its whole shape right. The pentagon is a good example.
